Looking back at the different stages of health in my life, it’s truly amazing how long I spent not having ANY idea the correlation between sugar and weight gain. Or illness. Or chronic fatigue. Or anxiety. Or depression

Sober-ish
Let me start by saying that it’s not about how many times you fall off the horse, it’s about how many times you get back on. Or in this case, the wagon.
Songs That Make You go “Hmmm”
On my drive to work, I am listening to one of three things: A random podcast, my son’s children sing-along CD, or the radio. I’m not fancy enough to have a satellite radio and I’m on a shared data plan so Spotify or Pandora are out of the question. Mostly, I listen to the radio.Continue reading “Songs That Make You go “Hmmm””
Sick and Tired
Is there anything more maddening than being sick and not knowing what you have? Yes, of course there is. Have you read the news? The world is falling apart. But in my selfish life where I only think about myself, trying to self-diagnose is INCREDIBLY annoying. If you know me at all, you have probablyContinue reading “Sick and Tired”
I Got the Blues
There is a scene in the movie “Brokeback Mountain” when Jake Gyllenhaal says to Heath Ledger, “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Every fall, I think about that quote as I start to watch college football; more specifically- Michigan Football. For as long as I can remember, I have been a Michigan FootballContinue reading “I Got the Blues”
Dress to Impress
I have seen the future of our workforce, you guys, and I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t look good. I don’t mean skill wise. Despite all of the stereotypes of millennials being entitled, short-sighted, and way too distracted by shiny objects like cell phones and Apple watches, they do bring a lot ofContinue reading “Dress to Impress”
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Cry
I have a difficult son. When he was an infant, people would always ask me if he was a good baby and I never knew how to answer that. He cried a lot, was difficult to nurse, rarely slept at night, and never let me sit down and hold him at the same time. IContinue reading “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Cry”
RSVP!
Today, I turned to a coworker and asked: “Should I, or should I not, write a blog about the fact that I don’t think that too many people would go to my funeral?” She about died laughing (pun DEFINITELY intended), probably because I said it out of nowhere, but most likely because she had the sameContinue reading “RSVP!”
Forever Young
Recently, there have been a lot of revelations that remind me that I am no spring chick anymore. It spans from activities like leering through my blinds to shake my head at the latch-key kids across the street when they make a ruckus late at night all the way to checking TVGuide.com to see if there will be aContinue reading “Forever Young”
Robbed
The past few weeks, I have been feeling really uneasy at home. I guess the reality of being at home alone, especially at night, has really become more apparent to me. It probably doesn’t help that I watch a lot of Dateline and 48 Hours Murder Mystery and constantly think about how I can leaveContinue reading “Robbed”
